Analysis Method
There are few methods that could be used in obtaining shear
and moment values of a continuous beam for design purposes:
Flanged beams
Flanged beams are cast as a part of the slab system.
When the beams are resisting sagging moments, the slab act as a
compression flange and the members designed as T or L beams.
With hogging moments, the slab will be in tension and the members
designed as a rectangular section.

Exercise : Beam Design
Figure below shows the simply supported beam and the size
of the beam. Assuming that : concrete cover = 25 mm,
diameter of bar is 20mm, diameter of link = 10mm, fck =
25N/mm,fyk= 500 N/mm. Calculate the area of steel, shear
reinforcement of the beam and check the deflection of the
beam.

Figure Q1 shows the floor plan of the typical car park area. By considering the data given:
Data given:
Dimension of beam = 300mm x 650mm
Characteristic strength of the concrete, fck = 30 N/mm2
Characteristic strength of main bars & link, fyk = 500 N/mm2
Slab thickness = 200 mm
Ultimate design load for Beam C/1-4 = 90 KN/m
Effective depth of tension reinforcement, d = 600 mm
Depth of compression reinforcement, d = 50 mm
EFFECTIVE WIDTH OF FLANGE BEAM (T BEAM)
Continuous beam
beff = beff i + bw < b b = short span of slab = 3000-300 = 2700 mm,
bw = width of beam = 300mm
Where beff i = 0.2bi + 0.1lo < 0.2lo
and beff < bi, l = span length of beam = 8500 mm
